Abstract

A comprehensive nonlinear regression model for dissociation equilibria of cell-specific aptamers is proposed by considering the effect of receptor expression level. Benefiting from the global regression of simultaneous equations, the fitted parameters reach a very significant level, indicating the statistical validity of this updated model. According to the fitting results, we found that dissociation constants fitted using the previous model are obviously larger than the updated values, which can be explained by the effect of receptor number on curve fitting. In addition, equivalent receptor density can be estimated using the updated model, which may lead to some new judgments about reported results of cell-SELEX.
